This Week’s Picks! Bring Kristin Chenoweth Home, Get Lucky with Danza in Vegas & Go Back to High School

Hey you, wrapped up like a wool burrito to fend off the cold—step away from the space heater. Crappy weather shouldn’t stop you from enjoying what Broadway has to offer, including a new Madame in Cinderella, the debut of a brand new musical, and two charitable concerts. Bundle up for this week’s picks!


Party All Night with Broadway Rockers
November 17 at le Poisson Rouge
Loads of Broadway talent—including Constantine Maroulis, Jarrod Spector and Courtney Reed—take the stage to belt five decades of youth-swooning hits in Rockers on Broadway: Teen Idols. Expect a few differences between this starry concert and your own music-crazed youth, including little-to-no screeching into hairbrushes and your parents futilely demanding quiet. The concert benefits the PATH Fund, which helps those in the arts and entertainment communities. Click for tickets!


Do Vegas Broadway-Style
Begins November 18 at the Nederlander Theatre
Going to Las Vegas involves a pricey, interminable plane ride to a land inhabited by dead-eyed casino lizards and the constant threat of heat stroke. Why bother? Instead, head to the bubbly musical comedy Honeymoon in Vegas, which begins previews today. This charming, tuneful take on the 1992 movie features a love triangle involving a Vegas gambler (Tony Danza), a commitment-phobic gent (Rob McClure), and the gal (Brynn O’Malley) they both adore.

Take Kristin Chenoweth Home (Kind Of)
In stores and online November 18
Kristin Chenoweth’s forthcoming TV special Coming Home is sure to be awesome, so why not take home the music from the concert, too? With the live CD, you can sing along everywhere: During your morning train ride, throughout the budget meeting and on the gym’s treadmill. Just be sure to avoid the resentful glare of co-workers. Actually, maybe you should just sing in your bedroom—or in an empty meadow somewhere.


Bow Down to Cinderella’s New Stepmom
November 25 at the Broadway Theatre
The Real Housewives of Atlanta favorite NeNe Leakes has this reality TV thing down pat, so making her Broadway debut is the logical next choice. The screen star succeeds Sherri Shepherd as wicked stepmother Madame in Cinderella, which will conclude performances January 3, 2015. Add current stars Keke Palmer, Joe Carroll and Judy Kaye into the mix and you’ve got one enchanting evening on Broadway. Click for tickets!


Have a Celia-bration with Megan Hilty
November 23 at Joe’s Pub
This year’s Sonnet Repertory Theatre’s benefit honors Tony-nominated stage and screen star Celia Weston. Details about this cabaret: It features appearances by Megan Hilty, Carol Kane and Alfred Uhry as well as video tributes from Linda Lavin, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and others. Marc Shaiman is a contributing composer. There probably won’t be any impassioned didgeridoo solos, so it’s bound to be a great time. Click for tickets!
